The post-Christmas letdown is upon us. Once again, too many are finding that the gifts which so delighted them on Christmas Day have lost their charm – that even the loveliest of them have failed to satisfy their deepest desires.

For people who feel this way, the problem may well be that there’s a gift they forgot to open. It’s the uniquely perfect gift, one that lasts forever.

Could you be among those who’ve missed it? Happily, it’s not too late. To find out what it is, and how to receive it, please listen to this magical message from Chris Carrillo, delivered on December 30th during the Christian Music Hour at Care-age of Brookfield:

There are so many reasons why we need to be thankful. One of the reasons why people are sad is because we keep on looking for something we don’t have and we don’t appreciate what we see. If we will open our eyes and try to look at the bigger picture, we will see that there are thousands of gifts and blessings that we have. Our life is precious, and everyday is a gift you should be thankful for. Blessings are everywhere, especially the people who matter to you. So, you really need to be thankful on everything that you have.

What's more, the Bible tells us to rejoice even in tribulation. E.g. "Consider it all joy, my brethren, when you encounter various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance. And let endurance have its perfect result, so that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing." (James 1:2-4, NASB)
